Motorola Moto G 2014 LTE vs. Motorola Moto G 2014

You’d be forgiven for struggling to keep up with the various Motorola Moto G handsets. To date we’ve had the plain old Motorola Moto G (the first one), the Moto G 2014 (the big one), and the Moto G 4G (the one with 4G).

Brazilian smartphone consumers are being treated to another variant, the fairly self-explanatory Motorola Moto G 2014 LTE, a phone that comes with a small handful of big changes.

Announced yesterday(ish), the Brazilian Motorola Moto G 2014 LTE essentially addresses the obvious shortcoming with the Moto G 2014, specifically that it didn’t support – you guessed it – LTE.

Another notable change on the Motorola Moto G 2014 LTE spec sheet is the 2,390mAh battery, a decent increase over the Moto G 2014 at 2,070mAh. Interestingly, the phone is still 11mm thick, but a few grams heavier. Fine by us!

Finally, the Motorola Moto G 2014 LTE is exclusively dual SIM (last year you had the choice of one or two SIM slots), and comes with 16GB internal storage only (the first model offered a cheaper 8GB variant).

Oh, and of course the Motorola Moto G 2014 LTE comes with the latest version of Lollipop, Android 5.0, out of the box.

Alas, it’s only available in Brazil for now, where Motorola Moto G 2014 LTE price is set at R$899, roughly £220 in our money.

No official word on a UK release for the Motorola Moto G 2014 LTE just yet, but we’re expecting the Moto G Titan and Moto E Styx to launch any day now.
